GF Wood Bowl Finish - Pint
Durable Oil-and-Urethane Protection for Decorative Wooden Bowls and Turnings
General Finishes Wood Bowl Finish - Pint
General Finishes Wood Bowl Finish is a durable, oil-and-urethane, oil-based finish specially formulated for decorative wooden bowls, turnings, and other wood projects where a beautiful appearance and dependable protection are desired. The finish enhances the natural character of wood while providing a durable protective surface.
Wood Bowl Finish is a PFAS-free coating. General Finishes is committed to creating a cleaner and healthier environment, and all future product development will be free of "forever chemicals."
Important: For countertops that are actively used for chopping or cutting, General Finishes recommends Butcher Block Oil instead of Wood Bowl Finish.
Wood Bowl Finish was previously called Salad Bowl Finish.
Ideal Uses
Wood Bowl Finish is an excellent choice for decorative wooden bowls, turned vessels, wood turnings, and similar projects where a durable oil-based protective finish is desired. Its oil-and-urethane formulation helps provide a rich, attractive finish while protecting the wood surface from everyday handling and use.
Application Over Raw or Stained Wood
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
Always provide adequate ventilation while applying the finish. Follow all applicable safety precautions and product-label instructions.
- Stir thoroughly before and during use.
Stir the finish thoroughly to reincorporate solids that may have settled to the bottom of the container. Urethane topcoats are thin, and the flatting agents used to create lower sheens can settle quickly. Stir and decant only the amount needed for immediate use, or stir frequently throughout the application process.
- Prepare the wood.
Make sure the wood is clean and completely dry before applying Wood Bowl Finish. The finish can be applied over properly prepared raw or stained wood.
- Thin if desired.
If needed for application, Wood Bowl Finish may be thinned with 10% to 15% mineral spirits.
- Apply three coats.
Apply up to three coats for the recommended level of protection. General Finishes recommends no more than three coats, as additional coats will not improve durability.
- Hand application: Apply a liberal amount of product using a cotton cloth, natural-bristle brush, foam brush, or staining pad. Use smooth, even strokes with light lap lines. Choose a larger applicator for larger surfaces.
- Remove excess finish: Evenly wipe away excess product with the grain using light pressure and a clean cloth or absorbent paper towel.
- Sand between coats.
For improved smoothness and adhesion, lightly finish-sand between coats using a 220- to 320-grit foam sanding pad.
- Remove sanding dust.
Thoroughly remove dust before applying the next coat. Dust can be removed with a vacuum, compressed air, tack cloth, or a water-dampened rag.
Application Tips
- Always stir the finish thoroughly before application.
- Stir frequently during use to keep settled flatting agents properly incorporated.
- Apply thin, even coats and avoid leaving excessive finish on the surface.
- Lightly sand between coats to promote a smooth final surface and good adhesion.
- Remove all sanding dust before applying subsequent coats.
- Use adequate ventilation throughout the application process.
- For actively used chopping and cutting countertops, choose Butcher Block Oil rather than Wood Bowl Finish.
